Key Insights

Why are MSNBC and CNN experiencing a ratings collapse?

MSNBC and CNN's ratings have plummeted due to their extreme left-leaning coverage, which has alienated a significant portion of their audience. The channels' weekend ratings have dropped to as low as 28,000 viewers in the key demographic, indicating a severe loss of viewership.

Why did Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski meet with Donald Trump after criticizing him?

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski met with Donald Trump to potentially mend their relationship and align with the prevailing political winds, as their previous anti-Trump stance was no longer resonating with their audience, leading to a ratings decline.

How has the political landscape shifted post-election, and what does it mean for media personalities?

Post-election, many media personalities who were staunchly anti-Trump are now changing their tune, recognizing the shift in public sentiment. This shift has led to a reevaluation of their positions, with some, like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, acknowledging the absurdity of the Democratic Party's previous stance and aligning more closely with Trump.

What role does the Dead Internet Theory play in the decline of left-leaning media ratings?

The Dead Internet Theory suggests that a significant portion of online engagement is driven by bots and sock puppet accounts, which were previously used to inflate the popularity of left-leaning media. With the election outcome, these bots were deactivated, leading to a sudden and noticeable drop in engagement and ratings for these channels.

How does the changing perception of Donald Trump affect his approval ratings?

As media personalities and outlets shift their perception of Donald Trump from a threat to a potential ally, his approval ratings have seen a significant boost. This change in narrative, coupled with the realization that the left's previous stance was flawed, has led to a more favorable view of Trump among the public.

Chapters

The discussion explores the possibility that the Dead Internet Theory, which posits that the internet is largely controlled by bots and sock puppet accounts, could explain the collapse of MSNBC and CNN ratings and the shift in public opinion.
  • The internet may be more bots than people, influencing public opinion.
  • Following Elon Musk's takeover of X, users complained about lower engagement, suggesting fake engagement was removed.
  • The left lost followers and subscribers after the election, possibly due to deactivated bots.

Shownotes Transcript

It's reporting that MSNBC and CNBC are going to be cut off from Comcast, spun off into their own companies, and the rumors are, well, their ratings are in the gutter. CNN still claims, no, no, they're making a lot of money, don't worry. Yeah, despite the fact their weekend ratings were 28,000.

So I don't know how they're afforded to pay these personalities, but carriage fees, I guess. Well, they're going to get spun off, separated from Comcast. And another rumor is that the politics of this channel are very unfavorable. My friends, not only has Jon Stewart come out and defended Trump's victory, Joe Scarborough and Michael Brzezinski of MSNBC met with him despite despite Joe in a viral video before the election saying there's no middle ground with this man at all to thunderous standing ovation.

Charlemagne, the God is now even supporting Donald Trump's actions to a certain degree. All of these people, they couldn't say a single word before the election now coming out and saying we're totally on board. And that's why the popular vote mattered so much. But of course, MSNBC staffers are calling for a boycott. They're furious. They are outraged that Joe and Micah would meet with Orange Hitler. And this is why the company has to be spun off.

MSNBC and CNN's ratings have been continually getting worse. So we'll dive into all of that. And then we got some other crazy stories. Oh, World War Three, I guess Russia is building nuclear bunkers, mass producing them. They've updated their nuclear doctrine. They've said that if a nuclear power assists a non-nuclear power in launching missiles into their territory, they will consider that an act of war. And they could theoretically use nuclear weapons in that regard. They're basically saying they're getting ready to do so.

So that's great, I guess. Hopefully Donald Trump can get in and put an end to all this. And then we got a crazy story. Nancy Mace has proposed a bathroom bill that would bar males from using female bathrooms in Congress because there is a member of Congress entering who is biologically male but identifies as a woman. This has caused a huge controversy where a transgender individual has threatened the life publicly and overtly. Ah.

on various social media platforms, threatened Nancy Mace's life, and she's responded to this. This is a wild story. Don't forget also, castbrew.com. Unfortunately, Ian's Graphene Dream has been sold out. We sold all of it. So we're going to be launching coffee pods, whole bean versions. It's a very popular blend. But in the meantime, pick up Stand Your Grounds, another big favorite of Medium Roast. And we do have Rise with Roberto Jr. The best part about that one, it has a picture of Roberto Jr. on it. Rest in peace.

Yeah, it's a box and everything. It's got the board. Basically, you know, you've got a House and Senate. If you get the House majority or Senate majority, you get perks. And obviously the objective of the game is to get your guy elected. I might be able to put it behind you for the show back there. You can see it. You can see it. Great. We can make it more visible, but you can see it right now. I browsed the card collection before the show. Who are you? What do you do? Who am I and what do I do? Yeah. I don't know. I really don't know what I do.

You talk? I help people. You talk and people like what you say? Yeah, but I think, you know, that's what I think it is. I think I help people because, you know, I do a show called The Griff Report on Kick and last week somebody said to me, you know, you've changed my life. I hear that a lot. You've changed my life. You've changed my life. So I think I just...

share my life experience with people and just help people get to the next stage of their career or life or whatever it is, relationship, business wise, et cetera, et cetera. The majority of my audience is around 30 to 35 years old.

Sometimes I got kids in college and stuff like that. So, you know, my life experience, I'm 44 years old, so I share my life experience. Well, right on. Should be fun. Thanks for hanging out. Ian's here. Yeah, I always dig hanging out with you, man. Thanks. And the question of who are you, we were having that before the show. We were talking about philosophy in general and God. I'm like, are you God? What are you? Are you your frontal lobe? Are you...

Are you Brian Sharp? Or are you something much greater? Nerve system jellyfish. Yeah, I think you are. Well, hey, I'm Ian Crossland, at least so I've been told. And I'm just back from Dallas, man. I spent the week working with The Blaze. I did three episodes of Normal World with Quarter Black Garrett and...

Dave Landau, it was excellent. I did Sarah Gonzalez's show with Michael Marsden. That was really fun. And then I wrapped up the weekend doing Inverted World with Shane Cashman. So if you didn't see that, it's on YouTube at Inverted World. That was really great. We talked about philosophy. Also good and evil, like the subjective nature of these things. Like if you destroy evil, are you doing good? Is destruction a good thing? Is creation a bad thing? Like very just esoteric, deep stuff. And Shane's always the man to talk to. He's great.

So I'm happy to be back, man. Good to see you guys. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

Let's go. Here's a story from CNN. And you know, I chose CNN on purpose because they're also in the gutter. But this should be fun. Comcast to spin off its cable channels, including MSNBC and CNBC, into separate company. So it's now confirmed. The rumors have been bubbling up. They trickled this one out. At first, they were like, the ratings are really bad following the... What do we have here? Is this... Do we have that one over there? No, no. The ratings got really, really bad. And

And so MSNBC's weekend ratings were like in the 20,000s in the key demo. It's a worthless channel. This is likely why Joe and Micah went to go meet with Donald Trump and beg because they're talking to no one. But now CNN confirms it.

Now, CNN, of course, wants to play defensive for them. They say Comcast is planning to spin off most of its cable television networks, including MSNBC and CNBC, in a separate publicly traded company, according to executives with knowledge of the plan. The spinoff is expected to be formally announced Wednesday. The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the impending announcement on Tuesday evening, said this involved USA, Oxygen, E! Sci-Fi and the Golf Channel. Comcast's NBC Universal division is keeping Bravo.

The NBC broadcast network, the separate cable channels will have the same sort of ownership structure. They say, well, observers may view the spin off as an attempt to shed cable channels that are losing value in the streaming age. The channel still contributes strong profits to Comcast's bottom line. I'm going to pause there. This is the game they play. So I wanted to use CNN strong profits because of carriage fees, meaning that if your channel is on a cable network, it's being carried. You get a piece of all of the subscriptions for everybody who has cable.

So that's guaranteed revenue over a certain period of time. The reality is the channels themselves, nobody watches.

CNN, look at this from this is I'm sorry, this is right here. New York Post leftist viewers deal MSNBC and CNN a Trump slump ratings crash. And they try to go on to explain why. But regardless, they say at MSNBC, the home of the most unhinged commentary analysis we've ever seen in the history of television. And that's saying something more than half its audience. Fifty three percent is no longer tuning in compared to October.

They're going to mention that Rachel Maddow dropped off a million viewers. They don't mention her key demo ratings, however. They say in the key demographic, the advertiser's most covet, Maddow's numbers marked the smallest audience her show has seen since April 2022. It's a new era, huh? Yeah. What happened? What happened? Well, this is the question we've been asking since the election. Is this that regular people have woken up to the extent that

They were being lied to. I think so. I think that it was like they were part of what felt like a movement to get Kamala Harris or whoever the Democratic Party fed them elected. And then when that thing failed, they all were like, all right, the shakedown is the gigs up. We all knew it was fake anyway. We were just trying because we felt like we were supposed to. I'm out. I'm done with this crap.

I think that's what a lot of those people were feeling. Let me add this for context. This is from the Postmillennial. John Stewart says presidential election was a repudiation of liberal government he spent years propping up, an overly regulated system that is no longer responsive or delivering for the needs of the people. So you got Charlemagne the God coming out, changing his tune, saying maybe the Democrats lied to me about Trump being a fascist. You got Joe and Micah trying to meet with Donald Trump. You got Bill Maher coming out and saying, oh, these Democrats, oh boy, I can't stand them.

All of these liberal personalities begging to be let into the fold and the ratings of these channels collapsing. I'd be willing to bet Jon Stewart's ratings are in the gutter. You know, he resurrected his daily show to come back for this election cycle. I bet his ratings are gutter trash and he knows it.

CNNs are in the gutter. New York Post confirms. We've seen all that data. MSNBC is in the gutter. Meanwhile, Fox News is up. Conservatives are up. And once again, we'll shine a light over on our good friend David Pakman, who put out a video for the election saying he was losing subscribers like crazy, as were many of these other liberal personalities. This is the culture shift. Yeah, I think I think that that the people that have been vehemently anti Donald Trump and anti right saying the right is full of all these bad people and all of this is

just negative, uh, um, negative opinion about anyone on the right. I think that they realized because of the, not just because of the election of Donald Trump, but the fact that everything in the country had a right lean this election. So you're, you're, the house was taken, the Senate was taken. If you look at all of the, the districts and all of the, the people that all of the elections that went on, everything swung to the right. And I think that

Even if they're not like, oh, we're going to be right wing now. We're going to start just saying supply side economics are good and family values are important. Even if they're not going to do that, they realize that they can't just continue to call the right racist bigots. You're terrible people. You're all Trumpers. Trump's a Nazi, etc. I think that they see the writing on the wall. And if you want to survive, especially in legacy media where

The writing is on the wall that podcasts are where it's at today, that alternative media, that the Internet, that's where it's at. It's no longer on cable news. If you don't adapt, then you're going to be left behind. And we're seeing it with what's going on at NBC with –

MSNBC and even CNBC, typically it's not really, really strongly left-leaning because it's all business, right? There are people that are going to have left-leaning opinions, but you're not going to have people that are just like, oh, we got to get rid of private property and we have to tax... It's a good thing to tax unrealized gains and stuff like that because that just isn't going to fly on a business channel. Even there, CNBC

seeing the effects from NBC. So I think that it's probably, writing's probably on the wall. Are we having fun watching these personalities grovel, basically? Of course we are. I kind of... Yes! Ian's going to say no. Well, I kind of... It's not really fun, but it's definitely... It feels good. Because it's like...

If you ever know a bully and what they do is a scare tactic, they'll flash something on the wall and everyone will freak out. And then they do it again and again and again because they feel powerful when they get that reaction. But then eventually people are like, they're doing that same thing now. And it's annoying now. It's not even scary. It's just bright and it's annoying. Stop doing... What? A bully that's using a scare tactic to get everyone's reaction and they're feeling good at controlling people's reactions. Eventually that scare tactic becomes...

obvious a scare tactic. You're like, I know he's just flashing a light on the wall. I'm ready for it now. And now it's just becoming annoying. You're saying the left is... They're screaming about Trump bad. That's what the former president has been doing. Yeah. And it is just nice to see the bully exposed. It's, you know...

It's like the boy who cried wolf, I guess. It's the Democrat who cried Hitler. Eventually, you're just like, we get it. Jeez, there's like seven Hitlers, whatever. Well, let's zoom out really fast. Let's speak of the apparatus or the platform that is media. And when you launch a platform, you have to decide...

who you're going to speak to and what your goals are. Okay. So either it is to get viewership and get money, or it is to push an agenda or maybe a combination of both. And it seemed like mainstream media, especially leftist mainstream media, uh,

didn't want viewers, they weren't thinking about the dollars, they were trying to use their platform to push an agenda. We saw that during the Trump years, we saw that before Trump got elected in 2016. And that to me, let's go backwards really fast. What do people want from media? What people want from media is number one, information without bias and the truth.

And the media has failed at both of those because all we've gotten was bias. So let's say you're going to have a platform. You're going to talk to people like Tim Pool. Tim Pool, he talks to everybody, talks to the left. He talks to the center. He talks to right. Mainstream media has done a good job of just platforming certain people on the left. We see with black media, black media is out there and they don't talk to Hotep Jesus.

Timpola have a Hotep Jesus on. So what we're seeing is a complete bias and people are like, well, we're not getting the full picture here. Then you have the election and you see the popular vote and you go, oh, the people have spoken with their votes, et cetera, et cetera, right? But that's the issue. People have...

lost their trust in media. Media is not giving information, and it's been completely biased. But it comes back to the fact that media was not trying to make money. They were not trying to have viewers. They were specifically trying to push an agenda, you know, orange and bad. And I must say this, but Bill Maher on his show, and I can't believe I'm about to say this, forgive me, he called the Democrats retarded.

That hurt to say. I'm so sorry, everybody. I'm sorry, YouTube viewers at home. But he said those words. He said those words. Leave it to Bill Maher. He said Democrats were like a royal family that had become incestuous and had retarded children. Wow, yeah. Intellectually, that's for sure. And you know what? What?

The essence of what he's saying, that Democrat ideas have become a hodgepodge of insanity, we've been saying for years. So thanks, Bill, for coming out after the election, when before he was like, Trump can't win, Kamala's going to win the popular vote. And now all of a sudden he's calling Democrats retarded. Oh, come on, dude. You could have said that before the election. The culmination of believing their own refuse or whatever is when they said, Trump is a threat to democracy. Our candidate has been installed without a Democratic primary.

by our super delegate whatever imperial strategy is was like okay this is great because i was actually talking with my mother who's very much like hey trump's and she was she was of the ilk of like trump's a jerk mean tweets don't want to vote for the jerk but i was like i'm not gonna vote for first of all they're saying that he's a threat to democracy while they install a candidate and are become a very big threat to democracy accuse your opponent of what you're doing which was a nazi tactic not only are they doing that but

uh they're not only are they blaming them but they're doing it and so and and she's now fully on board fully understands the the manipulation of that that sect that weird minority in the american population imperialists look at these moral cowards okay because i'll give credit to every single trump supporter and every single post uh post-liberal or disaffected liberal who had no problem saying after joe biden won the election

I'm not on board with the, oh, there were servers and Dominion and all that conspiracy stuff. That felt like a big cope. I certainly don't think it was. Let's just say the bellwethers were off. There's a lot of questions about the 2020 election I'm fine with. But I do think Democrats largely just ballot harvested and changed the rules in order to win. After that happened, I didn't say, oh, I supported Joe Biden the whole time. I mean, Democratic Party is what it's always been. I was like, Trump is still right. Joe Biden is terrible. He's a warmonger. I have no problem saying that, even if we're losing elections.

But look at these people. We come around and we win the popular vote. We advocate for Trump the entire time. We we have a primary process with strong candidates. We're fans of a vague. Initially, we were fans of DeSantis, but he kind of his campaign went weird. And no one like Nikki Haley. But it was a fierce primary. Trump ends up winning. We say, OK, we're going to get behind the candidate.

Then after Donald Trump wins, the other liberals all of a sudden now have found Donald Trump. They have found the absurdity of Democrats. They are moral cowards. And I say this.

We want their audiences and we want them giving us their whatever whatever power or support they can. But we always must remember that these people are not to be trusted. Jon Stewart, Bill Maher, Micah and Joe, they'll sell you out in two seconds when the wind changes. But for the time being, if they're going to sing the praises, it's a yes, you can go on one knee now like you had all these athletes do and accept that we were right the whole time.

And we're going to keep going. But regardless, their viewership's gone. There's another segment that changed their mind before the results of the election, like Michael Rapaport. Oh, yeah. Right? Oh, yeah. What happened there?

Are we trusting him? I do. I think he legitimately saw the light and was like, whoa. Yeah, the light of attacks on Israel from the left in the streets. Oh, you think he turned against that? Oh, yeah, absolutely. As opposed to towards... You could... Look, for someone like Michael Rapaport, and there's a lot of people like him who are Democrats who hated Trump,

You could literally have evidence of Trump being falsely framed and prosecuted, and they're going to be like, don't care. Donald Trump is bad. And then the moment some leftist comes out and burns an Israeli flag, they're like, I'm a Republican now. All right, well, then I don't trust that. I don't trust them for two seconds. I don't trust reactionaries in general. I don't like people that are like, emotional. I'm now away from emotions. No, no. I like the people that are honest and look for truth and stick with that. If he was, if you, like, Rappaport, if he was sincere...

You know, and I did not realize how crazy the left was. And it took him. This was what woke him up. I'd say, OK, but he backtracked on Trump. He came out and said Trump is on the table. Look what's going on with these protests, then backtracked on Trump. And now apparently I think he's for Trump again. I don't trust that. As opposed to someone like Anna Kasparian, who legitimately.

now sees the danger of what was happening. And I don't know what she feels about Donald Trump, but she seems like full on, like she cares about the truth. It always has. Anna Kasparian's perspective was shaped by multiple actual events. So there was the fact that she was sexually assaulted by a homeless person outside of her house. She was sexually assaulted by a woman

She said, I'm not a birthing person, and she received all kinds of online hate from people on the left calling her all the terrible names that you get called. She looked into the... She, for a long time, believed the narrative about Kyle Rittenhouse, and then she finally went and looked into it and watched the videos, and she was like, oh my God, I'm wrong. This is... He was actually defending himself, and it's clear. And she's taken...

to task on a lot of that stuff. You know what a big component for Anna was? She said that after she got assaulted by this homeless guy,

leftists started making fake videos of her statements out of context to accuse her of things she hadn't done or said. And she was like, this is crazy. And I'm like, welcome to the club, Anna. Rogan also is another example. He said that the CNN saying that he took horse paste was like the ultimate. They put a picture of a horse on the screen. So they showed ivermectin and there's a little horse logo. I'm like, that's crazy.

crazy. And it's that was like that for me when they put Kamala in and they just tried to install a candidate. It was definitely like, I mean, I'm definitely for truth anyway, but seeing the deceivous nature of that or organism, that Imperial tentacle within the United States is let's, let's, let's jump to this.

Let's jump to this. I want to jump to this video. We have a clip from Piers Morgan Uncensored. I want to set this clip up for you before we play it. I want to give a shout out to Jenk Uger. This is an epic Jenk Uger clip. Trust me, you guys are actually going to love this.

Alan Lichtman, the guy in the middle, is the Nostradamus of politics. He is the most arrogant, elitist, credentialist person I've ever heard. I'm a professor. I'm the expert. Don't you tell me. And he predicted Kamala would win when he gets told that the keys to the election, as he describes it, were wrong. He loses. No, no, they weren't. You got to you got to hear this clip. This is the cope from some Democrats is is so thick you will enjoy it.

don't blame the voters. I think, look, we could get into this discussion, but one, I think you're blaming the voters. I think that's a terrible idea. And look, I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right. He was wrong. I said he'd lose his keys. No, you were not right and I was not wrong. And that's a cheap shot and I won't stand for it. Who won, brother? You should not be taking cheap shots at me. Who won? You live in a total world of denial. I read your own

own followers comments and they all trashed you every one of them and supported me yeah right right personal come find out again make whatever point you want yeah don't make it you don't know anything you don't know you attacked me personally you're so deluded right i've only been a professor 51 years on this program i've never been able to finish how many books have you published because there's no because you're personally attacking me again what he just said all right

I've only been a professor for 51 years. On this program, I've never been able to finish. Professor for 51 years published 13 books. He's telling Cenk he's right about his predictions that Kamala Harris was supposed to win. And he's published all of these books. And Cenk's just like, dude, you're wrong. How many books have you published? No, because you're personally attacking me again.

Say whatever you want, but I'm not going to stand for personal attacks. Okay, but brother, you got it wrong. You were preposterously and stupidly wrong. So, okay, all right. Can I just finish the goddamn thought ever on this show? No, not if you're personally—I admitted I was wrong. I don't need you to call me stupid. Okay. Can I just say it's great to see you Democrats all getting along so well. So this kind of goes on, but I'm really enjoying the Alan Lichtman arc because he's giving us this endless stream of very extreme cope and seethe.

The dude stakes his career on being right about elections. After he was wrong, he makes this video where he's like, I was wrong. I own up to it. We'll take some time to assess how we got these wrong and we'll figure it out. Instead of coming back being like, here's what I misunderstood. He comes back like, actually, I wasn't wrong at all.

Elon Musk interfered in the election with billions of fake news manipulations. And that's actually why the keys didn't work right. But 160 years of history were changed by Elon Musk. And the proof is I'm a professor. Exactly. And I've written 13 books and been a professor for 51 years. So I know better than you. But this clip is excellent. See, Cenk Uygur and Anika Sparrow, they get it.

I think they've been seeing the writing on the wall for some time. There are some liberal personalities, I think, like Free Press and Barry Weiss. They saw this a few years ago and they're like, guys, the left is going crazy. And then obviously there's people like Carl Benjamin. There's people like me or Joe Rogan. Varying degrees of individuals who were on the left or liberal and then being like the left. The Democratic Party's gone nuts. Cenk Uygur is now sitting here being he was saying this before the election. He he didn't he thought Trump was was going to win. He was making these predictions.

However, he, like many other liberals, have only started becoming more aggressive in their description of things, now realizing just how wrong they were and how badly they lost. Biden's dementia... I don't know if he actually has dementia, but when he... It finally came out in all of the news media. When they all acknowledged his decline, that was when everybody was like, the jig is totally up now. And I think Cenk has always...

been desired the truth, but being in an echo chamber, sometimes your truth is distorted by your, by your chamber. So he's seen what he's seen. And for a lot of people, it was hard to accept that the avatar of truth in this system, the least worst situation was a, was an entertainer with a potty mouth. Cause it's like, I want a good guy that makes me feel nice. Not a guy that screams. She's a fat pig. And like,

gets all the attention and like he's gets to win and he was the bully on the plate i don't know if trump was actually a bully or not i don't think he was but i don't know every like well and you could it was hard for some people to accept but that's i think that's why some people are slow to come around to it and as a final thing i want to say about piers morgan's show great people great guests i love piers you need to fix your lag buddy because these guys are overlapping because there's a two second lag they can't hear each other for two seconds it makes this a

fucking clown show. So fix that shit. You get a million views a video. I still love you, but fix that unless you want them to look ridiculous on purpose because the thumbnails have them all with their mouths open looking like idiots. I don't know, but please fix the lag.

That's the pressing issue. It's the lag. I don't want these guys, Cenk, to be like, why can I never finish a statement on this show? It's because there's lag. It's two seconds to go by. No, it's because Piers' show is designed around people screaming at each other. I think it happens because of the lag. If I had to wait two seconds to hear what you said and you're like, he's not responding, I'm going to keep going, and then I start to talk over you and we're like, what in the hell? Well, that's one of the reasons we don't do digital interviews like this. It really doesn't work.

And I did this, like two and a half years ago, I did a show with Ben Shapiro for his show and we recorded it. And then I had to mail a disc because it was a heavy like 4K file or something. And we didn't have the internet. We only had 20 megabits up. And so when, yeah, it was only 20 megabits. It's crazy. So when we were doing it, it's like you talk for a little while and you wait and then you have to

when to stop talking so they can then respond. But when you're in a room with someone, you can see what they're going to do or whatever. But enough about that. I'm just here to bask in the... There are two sides to this post-election cope and seethe.

There's the Bill Maher, Jon Stewart's, Cenk Uygur's and Charlemagne. They're all being like, oh, geez, you know, oh, Trump, we knew it. The Democrats are crazy. And then you have the inverse, which is the Kyle Kalinske's, the Alan Lichtman's, the screaming and refusing to back down saying, we got to go harder on woke. We got to be more mean. Well, let's let's assess what the left is. And I said this before you went to the video. The left is the Wizard of Oz. And by that, what I mean is.

The image that they project is not who they really are. Right. And what they do is they rule with fear and, you know, they can ostracize you, they get you canceled, they can get you fired, et cetera, et cetera.

but they actually don't exist. And this is something that I've noticed is that, especially online, much of the support and much of the vitriol comes from bot farms. I don't know if you guys noticed that. Yes. Oh yeah. Like the, we used to, I was calling them Kamala bots. Right. And so these aren't real people. And you saw that in the election where, where is that large left? But,

The main ways they control is through professors. Right. So you have grade school, high school, and then, of course, you get to university. And a lot of that indoctrination of liberal politics happens, obviously, at the university level. And even, you know, for example, when Trump won the first time, my kids came from home from school and they were all sad. And they were like six at the time. Like, why are you guys sad? And they were like something, something Trump said.

And I'm like, why do you guys even know about that? So even if you don't teach that to grade school level, the kids pick up the vibes, right? And they understand, well, Trump has to be bad. And this has to, if Trump's bad, then this must be good. But when we look at the aftermath, the bots, the media, it has created an illusion because people actually thought Kamala had a chance to win.

they created an illusion to these people. And many of them are Boulay, Intelligentsia, aristocrats, you know, higher income individuals. These aren't your everyday people. So when we talk about Democrats and you talk about, you know, radical leftists, that's not your average Democrat. You ask an average Democrat about how they feel about sharing bathrooms with another set of group of people. They'd like, nah, that's not cool. Another thing, the pronoun situation, right?

Now you see in corporate America, you got to have your pronouns in your signature, et cetera, et cetera. People are fearful. They're like, I think I have to do this, right? Yep. So it comes back to the Democrats rule with fear. And it just a big wizard of Oz. And if we can pull back the veil and say, look, this is a little man and he's harmless. I think that's when we can start. We did almost see that's the popular vote. Did you see AOC took her pronouns out of her bio too? She did about a year ago. Oh yeah. So AOC,

People started showing her super old bio and then claiming she just took her pronouns out. And then I pulled up the archives and their pronouns were removed a year ago. Sorry to interrupt. You're saying the popular vote is the incision of... That's why it was so important. That's why I was stressing that. Because this is the reason why... Look, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million. And that's why they went anti-Trump. They said, that's the minority. We're the majority. They won by accident. 2020 comes around. Biden gets 81 million. Popular vote wins. They say, we're the majority.

2024 comes around. Trump wins the popular vote. Republicans win everything. And now all of a sudden there, I'm on that. I'm on the winning side. They're always on the side that they think is the majority. That's why they go out in the streets and scream, you're on the wrong side of history. That's their greatest fear. And it's like- Supreme Grifton. Oh, yeah. The power of-

of an echo chamber, if you don't get enough volume, the echo is not produced. And once you get enough volume, the more volume, the greater the echo. I mean, so if they fail to get the whatever you want to call it, the status quo, then it just doesn't appear. I'm going to play a little bit of devil's advocate, and I'm sure that the chat's going to have a field day with this. But this is actually the goal.

Right. To change people's minds. Now, I'm sure that there are plenty of people that are changing and they're doing it for money. They're doing it for monetary reasons. They're doing it to save their jobs. They're doing it to save, you know, save face because they want to be on the on the the right side. I'm 100 percent aware of that. I totally agree. I'm not saying that that's not happening. But you don't change hearts and minds without that happening as well. Yeah. When you actually are successful, when you have success.

When you put in the effort to say, no, our opponents are wrong and they're wrong here and they're wrong here and they're wrong here. And then you actually convince the voter and you see it play out in the actual election the way that we just did. That's a victory and it's going to create problems.

effects. And some of those downstream effects are going to be people that are grifters, people that are looking to save their butts, looking to just be on the cool guy side. They're going to say, oh, we have to change. But this is a symptom of victory. And I'm not saying we're done. I'm not one of those guys that's like, the woke is destroyed. That is absolutely not true. This is winning a battle. This is not defeating, this is not winning a war. But

It is evidence that we can win. We saw a huge culture shift directly after the results of the election. One of them was raging feminists practicing abstinence.

That's what we've been wanting, right? And then what was the other example? Oh, another guy said, oh, we have to arm ourselves. And then in a black community, we were saying this for a really long time. They kept grouping us with other groups of people and calling us POC, POC, POC. And you get Joanne Reed and others saying, it's no longer POC. It's just black people. And I'm like, thank you.

Thank you. So Trump's already made America great again, and he's already made feminists great again, and he's made black America great again. Just from those three examples, it's like they've turned into conservatives again.

By losing. I also think that kind of along what you were saying, Phil, with the way people are maybe not shifting allegiance, but the way people are like, now I'm supporting whatever's happening, the new popular thing, you've got to be discerning about who you elevate to positions of power, either in your own life, who you're going to pay attention to, who you're going to believe when they talk. Because the people that were saying one thing four months ago and they're saying a different thing now, you've got to question if they're worth listening to. I'll put myself in that camp. I was...

very blatantly on the fence. And that was, you know, I knew immediately when they, I wasn't voting for Biden. And when they selected Kamala, I wasn't voting for that. But I was always saying I was going to be on the fence. I do a lot of social subversion, but you don't have to believe me either. Cause I didn't, I wasn't in full support of, I mean, I'm always going to get behind what I believe that's for sure, but I will, unfortunately I will mess with you. Um, I do that on purpose just because I feel like if you're too obvious, it's like charging machine gun nest. Uh, but

The point still stands. Be discerning about who you put your faith in. I want to jump to this next story before I do want to mention this one super chat. Scott House said place time clocks behind guest and your head to prevent clips out of context. This is a fix from last night's conversation. I got a better idea. I'm going to make an analog random number generator. So it's a it looks like a standard analog clock, but it will every minute just jump to random positions.

So no matter what happens, anytime someone pulls up a clip of me, the clock will be changing into random ways. So it always looks like it's out of context. Anyway, let's jump to this story from The New York Times. So this is the headline they use. Trump confirms plans to use the military to assist in mass deportations. They then go on to mention building detention centers. And this is where the story gets hot in it. They actually write. Let me read it for you.

One major impediment to the vast deportation operation that the Trump team has promised in his second term is that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement lacks the space to hold a significantly larger number of detainees.

That has sometimes led to allowing asylum seekers into the country while they await court dates with immigration judges, a practice critics deride as catch and release. The Trump team believes that such camps could enable the government to accelerate deportations of undocumented people who fight their expulsion from the country. The idea is that more people would voluntarily accept removal instead of pursuing a long shot effort to remain in the country if they had to stay locked up in the interim.

Asked about the proposal, Sabrina Singh, a spokesman for Pentagon, declined to comment, calling it a hypothetical. But this is where the story is now being seeded. The narrative created by The New York Times is to nudge in a detention facility, then camp. Next, you will see activist outlets start reporting. New York Times says Donald Trump will build camps to round up

And this is the birth of their new narrative. You have seen it here first, ladies and gentlemen. So should this blossom into a big fake news hoax like they often do, you know where it came from. You know, they use the word camp very readily. The word camp brings illusion of the Nazi concentration camps, obviously. That's the point. During COVID, we...

Talked a lot about in Australia, they had a facility that they were like, come stay at our facility. You can't leave, by the way. They would lock people in. And so I think Tim and I, we were both talking about calling them camps for fun because it's like, hey, let's let's let's like go outside the box here. But good luck getting the New York Times to start calling it a camp. Only when the narrative suits them will they use that word. Exactly. So during Obama, he built detention facilities.

When they then talk to Trump's administration and say, yeah, we'll probably use these facilities. They then say camps. They're trying to set the stage for the Donald Trump is going to use the military to travel around rounding up asylum seekers to put them in camps. We predicted this.

OK, Trump deporting people here illegally is just following the law, but they want to turn it into Trump is Hitler. Yeah, there's a clip of the new guy that's going to be in charge of the border talking with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Tom Homan, Homan. And she was like, they're seeking asylum. He's like, then they should go through a legal port of entry. That's the that's the method. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any kind of.

No, no. Yeah, exactly. It's not. But for some reason. So these people aren't technically. If they're here and they say I'm seeking asylum, they're not technically seeking asylum until they go through the legal port of entry to seek asylum. They're seeking, seeking asylum. That's different. They're invited, though. That's the sad part. Kamala did say don't come. Well, before that.

They were invited and we created sanctuary cities. Right. And we created the program of asylum. So there was a big invitation and a big bow on our border that said, hey, come on in. And then when Trump came.

A lot of people stopped coming. Almost immediately, too. Just his appearance, just knowing that he was going to be the guy in the White House, right? So we're going to see the same thing. We're going to see a decline in people crossing the border, et cetera, et cetera. So I think this might be the clip that's been going viral. Let me play it. Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their parents. If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I'm going to be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence—

I separate that. Mr. Holman, with all due respect, legal asylees are not charged with any crime. When you're in the country illegally, it's violation 8 United States Code 1325. Seeking asylum is legal. If you want to seek asylum and go through the port of entry, do it the legal way. The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear. Okay.

Mr. Chair, the memo is submitted to... It is a violation of 8 U.S.C., what do you say, 35? And isn't it great when she's like, legal asylum? So you go through the port of entry, you do it the legal way, and she immediately retracted. She was like, oh, he's right.

I was wrong. Their worldview is fake. Now AOC is playing this whole, are there any podcasts you Trump voters listen to? I want some recommendations. Oh, here we go. Oh, well, that's promising. I don't necessarily trust her, but that's promising. Is she up for a grifty? She's definitely up for a grifty. Griftys.com. Go vote for her. She's definitely with that move. Absolutely. If we can get her on here, you want her to come on here? Our booking is talking to...

AOC's people. Yeah, she's top, dude. Because she is there to represent the people. And if the peoples have spoken, you know, it's her duty. Yeah, she said people in her district voted for Trump and her. And she was like, how is that possible? And then she says this thing about, like, we got to go knock on doors because the Internet, if you think everybody just lives in this world, you're wrong. And I'm like, look, if you solicit a subset of people in your audience, you'll find it.

If I said to the audience, if you guys out there are eating celery with peanut butter and raisins on it, I want to hear from you because that's disgusting. I'm going to bunch of messages from people going to say they love what is it called? Ants on a log or something. Oh, yeah. It's disgusting. Raisins and celery. And and people are going to say, I love it. It's great. Then I can show you 10 comments and be like, look at all these people who love this. Wow. Everyone loves this stuff. That's basically what she's doing.

So if she wants to go and find Trump-supporting podcasts or whatever, good for her. She needs to expand her horizon and get out of her fake news bubble. But that's been the problem with the left is they weren't listening. No, they were determined to tell people how they were supposed to think. Yeah, we couldn't have discourse, dialogue. I've been struggling to have any discourse with a leftist of any kind. Yeah, they won't do it. They just won't do it. And I think a lot of that is...

You know, it's like...

Hey, Eric Bolling here inviting you to check out my new podcast, Bolling, where we deliver a daily dose of uncensored, unfiltered truth. My new show is based on the bedrock of democracy. Free speech every day. I promise to expose those who misinform, edit, and push outright lies for their own agenda. On Bolling, the truth is always our top priority. So don't wait. Listen and subscribe to Bolling right now wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

What do they tell their people? It's like, you know, if you talk to them, you're platforming. Right, right. It's just like, you know, it's speaking to these people. They don't deserve a conversation. They're so evil that you can't have a conversation. If you have a conversation, then you're supporting evil. So again, it just comes back to that whole fear thing and saying, you know, if you talk to them, we'll cancel you. Yeah. Even talking to them. So it seems like that.

echo chamber has been shattered and that anyone of relevance from that community is now open to communicating across platforms um there are still segments of people that are just locked in their brains but i don't know any of them that have any relevance socially beyond like their little facebook group of getting 68 likes on their comment from their culted friends you say that would

Repeat what you did. I'm sorry. That echo chamber of like, they're evil, don't platform that has been shattered now. And it's kind of anhingent on us not to recreate the echo chamber subconsciously by being like, hey, wait, you're supposed to be in an echo chamber. What's that? Inhingent? Yeah, I like that word. Incumbent?

All of it. Yeah. It hinges on us to not recreate subvertedly the echo chamber because there's an opening now. And what I was saying is a lot of the people that are still stuck, I see don't have any podcast. They don't have any relevant following that I know of. The thing about the echo chamber. Yeah. The ones that are still stuck in the echo chamber. I don't really see anybody with a son.

I don't know. Hassan's like one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, like Destiny and other massive, massive streamers. Destiny's an interesting outlier. He's a far left guy. A couple of dudes. He's got a huge following. The thing about the echo chamber is it was also designed digitally.

You know, Uncle Hotep showed the other day that Gabrielle Union had them blocked. And I said, I know how she had you blocked. And what they do is they have, you know, the block list. You can upload the block list. They're doing it on that other app now. Yeah, Blue Sky. Yeah. So they actually say, you're one of us here. If you're one of us, upload this list.

so you never even hear these voices. And it creates a wall between you and them so their people can't even hear you. You don't get that type of tweets, you don't get that type of content, you don't get the retweets, et cetera, et cetera. So they've built a digital wall between their followers and us.

Powerful technology. Yeah, but it doesn't work when you're dealing with viral streamers like Aiden Ross, Kai Sanat, and all those guys. Those guys break those barriers. And Gen Z, like I was talking to my son, he said, where are you going? I said, I'm going to Tim Kass. He's like, oh, I know Tim Kass. He's 15 years old. I'm like, how the heck do you know Tim Kass? And he thought it was cool, but it shows you Gen Z is paying attention. They're not on Twitter.

Gen Z's on the streaming sites, and those streaming sites are leaning way more conservative, and nobody liberal really has a strong... Well, they got that adpocalypse now. We talked about this the other day. Twitch streamers are losing like 90% of their revenue. It's just evaporated. And X just got new... All the ads start coming back in. Oh, yeah.

And this show's lit up like times two views. I'm checking in. It's like 78,000 live viewers as opposed to the 48,000. 61,000 right now. Yeah. And there was like 80,000, 90,000 ever since the election. I don't know if the people, if Alphabet's like, it's time to just lay off all this weird censorship stuff or if more people are coming or if it's a combo. I think the popular vote victory

Terrifies them. Look, they're scared of the left canceling them. So they just say, do what the left wants. Once they realize they're on the wrong side of history, they panic and say, quick, quick to the other side, to the other side. Now, all of a sudden, our ratings are through the roof. Advertisers are knocking on the doors. All the big advertisers are like, we want in.

There's a lot more going on behind the scenes, but the Trump Rogan show at, I don't know, 200 million views across platforms in a week. I don't know what the numbers were. 80 million on YouTube. They shut it down for a day and then it was back up all over the place. It was on X got 80 million views on X. God knows. It's just I want to I want to pull up this story just as a reference. This is from Fast Company from earlier in the year. Is the dead Internet theory suddenly coming true? Here's my proposal to you guys.

One of the reasons perhaps we are seeing the left lose so many viewers and subscribers and why these channels are losing ratings. Could it be that dead Internet theory was true and that it was a mechanism by corporations and governments to prop up far left ideologies to create the perception that they were popular? Let me pause first and explain what this is.

You guys familiar with that internet theory? Sounds something similar to what Brian was saying earlier. Around 2016, the idea is that the internet has become more bots than people. Oh. So when you make a post and you're like, I don't like waffles, all of the responses are automated bots who are trying to sell a product or convince you of something to control your opinion. Yeah. Let's pause and go back to the late 2000s, early 2010s with the anonymous hacker collective and LulzSec and groups like this.

We discovered through the work of Barrett Brown of Project PM and some hackers who exfiltrated data that the U.S. Air Force was creating sock puppet social media accounts to be sold. They create them. They have a single individual operate them.

50 accounts to control public opinion. Assumptions were that in Libya, one of my favorite points brought up by activists during the time of the Libyan revolution slash civil war was there sure are a lot of Libyans that speak English and are on American social media.

But you'd see these Libyans saying, we must stop Gaddafi freedom. And the Americans are back retweeting it like, wow, look at this. And it was generating public support in the United States for NATO to go in and do airstrikes, no fly zones, whatever. Hillary Clinton then says, we came, we saw he died. If dead in it theory is true and corporations and governments are largely controlling bot accounts, what you'll end up seeing is a couple of things. The first, when Elon Musk bought X, what did we see?

When it was announced he was going to buy X, leftists lost tons of followers. Conservatives gained tons of followers. How does that make sense? Well, some speculated that it was because there was a thumb on the button that Twitter at the time was propping up left wing channels and holding back right wing channels.

Could it be that bots were largely being operated to prop up these left wing channels to make it look like they were more prominent than they really were? Well, following Elon's takeover, users started complaining they weren't getting the same views and clicks anymore. Why is my engagement so down? I mean, for me, it was kind of like every Twitter put out of thousands. Now it's sometimes they have a thousand, sometimes a few hundred.

Well, when you get rid of bots, which is what Elon's whole plan was, your engagement will go down. Your engagement was fake the whole time. But people can't tell the difference. They see 10,000 likes. They feel good. They see 1,000 likes. They feel bad, even if they aren't real. Following the election, David Pakman says, Brian Tyler Cohen, he, all these liberals are losing followers. They're losing subscribers. Now we're hearing that the left, these liberals are bleeding followers on X like crazy, right?

And perhaps because they're all fleeing to blue sky. That makes no sense. I don't believe it for a second because didn't they already flee to threads? What's wrong with that? They already fled to threads. How are they now fleeing again? Doesn't quite make sense unless dead Internet theory is correct. Following the election of Donald Trump, the machines that were propping up these bots turned off.

The accounts deactivate. The money stops flowing. No one's paying these people to run sock puppets anymore. So they all just shut it down. And then we see the left burn a bunch of followers. They would be shutting them down way before he gets into office and torching all evidence that they exist. No, no. They have to wait until the election because what if he wins? I mean, after inauguration is what I meant. They're doing it before inauguration. So the reason why it happens immediately after the election makes perfect sense.

If they're running these bot accounts, one person running 50 followers to make it look like a liberal's got a big following and making lots of money. How is this one guy getting a million views per video? They're not going to shut it down before the election in case Kamala wins. If Trump wins, who's going to pay the bills? Hillary Clinton cut a bunch of deals. You know, what was it? The Clinton Global Initiative and Foundation shuttered as soon as she lost the election and the donation stopped coming in because we know what the point of that was.

So if you are being paid to run 500 sock puppet accounts to comment, to post, to view videos, and they've got a team of 10 running, you know, 300,000 clicks for these videos. Once the election's done, you're like, OK, the contract is up. We're done paying this. All of a sudden, the views drop, the subscribers drop, cancellations hit.

Perhaps. I'm not saying I know for sure. Yeah. There's also a third option. Well, first of all, there's two types of these accounts. One is hired guns, right? And the other one is private, like just some kid in Malaysia trying to do whatever he wants to do, right? So...

The private guy doesn't necessarily turn his bots off. He just changes course. So he goes, "I was shilling for the left. That was the thing to do. Now it's like all these bots now shill for the right." Here's another component to that. A lot of bots that operate on Axe and other platforms do it to create the image of... that they're real.

So one of the first things bots will do is they'll follow prominent social media accounts so that if somebody investigates, they see what looks like a normal user following Brad Pitt and Rachel Maddow. Could it be perhaps then that a lot of the followers were passively following what was assumed to be prominent mainstream voices, CNN, liberal commentators who get lots of views because it made the bots look legitimate? Yeah.

And then once the popular vote swung, the bots just jumped over to right wing personalities because they are viewed as more legitimate. Correct. Correct. Yeah. You'd have. And that's all. It's all hypothetical. I'm just saying you could get the analytics of accounts unsubscribed and resubscribed in mass for sure. You could get those analytics. Elon would have access to MSNBC's ratings have collapsed.

and now Fox News' ratings are jumping. I don't see that as bots because that's the ratings tracking agencies. Our views are way up. I know why they lost ratings.

So CNN had a change of CEOs last year, right? And they tried to come more center, right? Oh, yeah. Center right. MSNBC recently tried to go more center right. So what happened was everybody was accustomed to a certain product that was extremely leftist. I have family members that said, I'm not... They're angry at CNN. They are angry at MSNBC because they've had a more balanced take and they are no longer watching these channels. So...

Some of that drop off is attributed to the fact that people don't want to hear anything positive about Trump because they've been so programmed with orange man bad that it like the thought inside of them enrages them. So let me let me see if I can. I'll play this clip for you guys. This is from this is Jon Stewart.

Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn't we?

Because you said he was Hitler. I'm going to do a one-act play called Joe and Mika Go to Mar-a-Lago. Mr. President, your rhetoric is outrageous. I cannot in good conscience... Oh, are those macaroons? The pink one is raspberry. The best part, because you called him Hitler, but that's your point. MSNBC is now saying...

We're fine with Trump. Joe Scarborough, let me see if I can find this video where he gets a standing ovation where he says there's no middle ground with Trump. Yeah, but that's, it's like bait and switch, right? But, you know, it's like, you know, let's say you purchase Pepsi, right? Or some drink, right? And then they change the formula. Like when Wendy's changed their French fries.

What? Why would you change a French fries? You had the best French fries that could rival McDonald's French fries. Because Hindus got mad because they were making them in beef tallow and the Hindus are like, that's not okay with us at all. What? Is that why? Yeah, seriously. Okay, so see, like, so now I'm not happy anymore and I don't like Wendy's French fries anymore. So now it's like, if I want junk, I go to McDonald's, right? But it's the same thing. You've changed your recipe. So people...

are no longer purchasing. That's it. It's like if a Pepsi changes its recipe, is it still Pepsi? I mean, it's a different drink with the same brand name on it. It's the same thing with these guys when they change their perception or their tune. I mean, people can change, but the vast oscillation of Mika and Joe is like changing the recipe of a food and keeping the same brand name on it. Listen to this. It's abrupt, too. This is interesting. This is from April. We try to understand other people.

and being so pragmatic and trying to be like, "I'm okay, you're okay, now where can we meet in the middle, la la la?" On this question, we're past that. You can't meet if they, listen, if they voted for Trump in '16, whatever.

They voted for Trump in 20. They knew exactly what they were doing. If they vote for Donald Trump in 2024, and I've said it on my show, I'll say it here, they're knowingly voting for a fascist. They're voting for a racist. They're voting for somebody that wants to put this country 200 years in the back.

And so I'm not trying to figure them out. I'm trying to figure out how we get people out who love democracy, who love freedom, who love the rights of all Americans, how to get them to the voting booth. And he couldn't. And Trump won. And now they're bending the knee and kissing his pinky ring. I just want to point out that fascism is not 200 years old.

It was a creation in the 20th century. It was his style of government. Fascism started around the same time as communism. Anytime someone throws out that word from now on, in these days, I'm going to ask them to define what they mean by that.

Because calling someone a fascist might have a different meaning to one guy as it does to another guy. Like corporate government collusion, like the Federal Reserve. Our whole system is built on that fascist thing right now, unfortunately. It doesn't have it. Right around the formation of Mussolini's fascism is when the Federal Reserve came around. Any attachment to reality, though. All it means is bad thing I don't like. When I pointed out, this was back during the election week, that David Pakman was saying, like, I'm losing all these followers and subscribers. Please don't leave. Please subscribe. We need you.

We pointed out it could be bots. And I said, I don't know about paid subscribers, but Twitter followers and YouTube subscribers, definitely. And he took issue with that, saying that I suggested that the platform was creating the bots. I was like, that's not what I said. And I actually showed an article. This is from when Elon said he wanted to buy Twitter before he did.

There was this weird moment where liberals just lost tons of followers and they tried making the excuse that, oh, it's because liberals are fleeing. And we're like fleeing from what? Elon's not even bought the platform. Then they said, haha, Elon, you have to buy the platform. They forced him to do it. Apparently he was trying to back out and they're like, nope, you signed the contract. You got to buy it. Then he did. We saw conservatives gaining tons of followers before Elon bought the platform. How does that make sense? Some said it's because conservatives are coming back.

No, I don't think that makes sense. No change had been made to the platform. I think certain people have access to the code.

And somebody had access to that algorithm because the same thing happened to me as soon as it announced. And I think they went in and they took out whatever was nefarious in that algorithm because they were afraid that when they purchased a platform, it would get exposed. And I don't know if Elon has gone in and looked at previous code, but I think they went in and changed the algorithm so it wouldn't get in trouble. That's what a lot of people thought, that they took a thumb off the scale because they knew that...

they were going to get caught. Right. And so what that means is they're suppressing right-wing accounts and propping up left-wing accounts. Correct. And they're doing it because they want to push the liberal worldview, knowing it cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas. Yeah, it's impossible to say for sure, but it is such an easy tactic for a government...

a funded agency or corporate agency to do that, a fascist agency in that instance, if it was, if the government was outsourcing it to a corporation, that'd be very fascist of them to do. It would be, it's such an easy battle tactic of the mind to create tons of fake, especially with artificial intelligence. Now the advanced AI that these, the Navy and the military is working with that they have access to, I could imagine,

you'd have a variety of communication weapons. I call them weapons because they're shaping people's minds without them knowing. You can consider that as sort of weaponization. Man, so it is like a very, very path of least resistance assumption. I don't want to publicly make the assumption and start claiming it, obviously. We can't do that without evidence. But yeah, it seems like a damn fine possibility. And it wouldn't surprise me in the least. And I would say we should be on guard for it regardless.

I'd actually I want a button on YouTube where I can delete all my subscribers that haven't logged in in two years or something all my dead accounts because they're making my algorithm look bad I put up a video I got 30,000 followers and it gets 600 views like

Probably 10,000 of those people aren't even logging in. I don't know. Let's jump to this story. President-elect Trump's approval rating hits 54% in Harvard-Harris poll. Now I know, I don't typically use single polls like to use the aggregate polling, but he's not even elected yet. And so this is some of the first polling that we're getting. Trump at 54%. This is, I got to tell you, it's hilarious. He wasn't seeing this before the election.

Now he's hitting 54 percent. And I think it's because the media has largely backed off. They realize their narrative is broken. The machine doesn't work. Advertisers are fleeing Twitch adpocalypse, whatever you want to call it. So what do we get? We get Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and the likes of these these liberals who are now saying, oh, Trump's not so bad. And Trump's approval rating goes up. This is the reality of fair weather politics.

political, you know, individuals in this country. You got to use it to your advantage. Even this is being the war, you conquer territory, you, you absorb all these generals from the enemy that you conquer and they join your army. You, you take the landowners, they join your nation, but you don't entrust power to these guys right away. You don't elevate the enemy generals that are now serving you to like positions of authority right away. Cause they might betray you.

And it's the same way with these news anchors. But you do have to accept and utilize their power and their force just in the right way. At arm's length, whatever the case, embrace it. This is the spoils of war. They join you. They empower your new creation. But you do not elevate it to authority.

Someone just tweeted at me, and this might actually have some substance. He said the reason Joe and Mika went to Mar-a-Lago was to apologize because Trump's suing mainstream media. And they're trying to cover their... Well, CNN ran this. It was Brian Stelter who wrote they did it because they fear retribution from Trump. Well, I mean, they've been calling... Look, man, there was...

When Donald Trump was still running in 2016, before he won the election, there was a time where someone called into or Joe Scarborough was talking to someone. And I don't remember who it was, but they made the point that.

They were thinking that Joe Scarborough might be Donald Trump's vice president pick because he had been so complimentary on Morning Joe. Donald Trump was a staple on Morning Joe. They had been friends. Joe and Trump had been friends. They were they constantly were talking. They constantly had Donald Trump on.

after Donald Trump was elected I heard a ton of people complaining about how the reason Donald Trump got elected was because of Morning Joe because they gave him so much free advertising and so much time on air but the fact of the matter is Donald Trump will call anyone like Donald Trump will call like no presidents do this but Donald Trump will call into Fox and Friends and be like yo I want to talk put me on the air you know like that's just how Donald Trump is now

Joe didn't have to have him on, which is that's fair enough. But it's probably a situation where, you know, he was he he overcorrected because he was being accused of being of helping Donald Trump to get elected. And so, you know, the powers that be didn't like that. The left leaning media didn't like that.

And so they were like, you know, Joe, you need to do something to help discredit Donald Trump. And then, you know, when he realized that, you know, obviously Donald Trump's, you know, approval rating is at now 54 or whatever. And like I said earlier, people are seeing the writing on the wall. And so he's just swung back. But I mean...

The fact of the matter is, like, everyone kind of sees that Trump is popular. Like, it's cool. Did you expect this? Did you expect Donald Trump to win the election?

I honestly I thought that the the establishment had more control than it seems to. I thought that the establishment was going to was going to fortify the election to the point where where Donald Trump couldn't win. I had largely said, I don't know. And and it's because of the the fortification or the shadow campaign, as they call it. Yeah.

However, I'm like, based on the numbers, based on the polling, Trump should win. But based on the deep state shadow campaign, Trump should lose. So I really can't tell you what I will say is several months before the election, a year before the election, we have discussed on the show the prospect that the deep state has lost control as the grandchildren of those who created the liberal economic order. They don't know how to operate this machine they've inherited. And so they've they've lost this control. And it was only a matter of time.

It looked like about a month out. One thing we talked about was that the rats may be jumping ship. And so let's say you have 100 deep state, 51 deep state spies who want to push a narrative. As long as they all believe they're going to win, they have that combined force to screw up an election in their favor. But if at any point they start to feel pressured, like maybe Trump is going to win.

Then they falter, they jump ship, and then without any combined strength of the deep state, Trump ends up getting through, and now they're scattering panic. Yeah, you know, if there was malfeasance in 2020, which has always been a hotly debated topic, and Trump had won, he would have had access to investigate that. He has that access now. Yeah. I was the same way. I thought, I actually said on the show, if everything was on the table and was legit, Trump would win, and I used the word landslide. 74%. I thought he was going to just...

just take everything. But I thought in my soul, in my heart that the deep state or whatever would manipulate the digital voting would flip the votes. 51 49, it would be very close. Common would come ahead. And I thought the same thing in 2016. And it was like a gut punch when I woke up to Trump winning. This is the second time that my, my black pill cynicism has, has not won. And there's, that's a, that's a reason to, to take the momentum and go forward. It is a,

I mean, it is, I don't even, words cannot even describe the opportunity as sovereign citizens that we have to create something beautiful, something real for this planet. Like all of us on the United States is the best country on earth. The best government ever created known to man where the citizens govern themselves. It's,

And I think, I think this is an opportunity to spread that not through war, but through culture, through like love of country, love of what we've done and what we can do, man, man, I was shocked. I wasn't shocked. I was, I just was just, I guess, surprised. I don't know. It was almost, what about you? What did you think?

I thought the right was on the wall. I said it on my show. I said, Trump going to win this. It's going to be a landslide. And intuitively, I was looking at social media and I saw a huge shift to the right. And to me, it looked like the establishment wanted Trump from what I saw. And I think it was because

They turned the ship so far left that it got out of control. And we saw that after October 7th. And they said, yeah, holy crap. These radical leftists that we created are no longer doing what we want them to do. They're turning against us. Let's turn the ship back right. Yep. And get a little bit back center.

So that's why I said, OK, Trump's going to win because they have to turn the ship back right. Because and this is this is a common theme among socialists. You know, they start to when they start to get too powerful, they fragment them. So they go from socialists to democratic socialists.

And you see this all throughout the history of socialism and communists. But when they get too powerful, they'll fragment them or they'll just shift to another direction. And it looked to me like a balance of power. This is something we had talked about with the October 7th thing, is that they may have tried to cut a deal with Trump. Like, we surrender, don't destroy us. You know what I mean? Do you think it's something like that? Absolutely. They go to Trump and they say, look—

The left has gone nuts. We're in for Israel. We can't have them. What do we do? I wonder then if they were like, we'll wind everything down. Because, I mean, I got to say, it does kind of make sense the way the corporate press is now acting towards Trump. Their handlers are all of a sudden like, nah, say Trump's out. Politico's reporting that Linda McMahon was tapped for education secretary. Ah, that sucks. Linda McMahon. It sucks because we want to get rid of the Department of Education. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Linda McMahon, she was actually in Trump's first administration. But in all seriousness, that's great. I thought the same thing here with the Israeli, the support for Israel. And I think we talked about it in August even or before. But he's the guy, he was the president that was like, would support Israel and that that might be what would get him in is that if anything, and there's lots of aspects of a deep state. Some of them are the Israel lobby. There's a lot of, according to Mike Benz, the Israeli lobby is very powerful within that deep state apparatus. Yeah.

And that influence obviously shifted towards Trump behind the scenes because of his vocal support of Israel. But to me, the shift to the right, everybody's like, oh, it's organic. We're winning. We're winning. And I'm over here biting my nails like, oh, you know this is part of the plan, right? And so I'm trying to see...

How far right we go. I want Dave Smith to get in Trump's cabinet. He said he's putting a libertarian in the cabinet. Rogan was talking about getting Dave Smith and Trump on the show together, the three of them. And I think Trump can help guide his Middle East policy. Or Dave Smith can help him. Here's the conspiracy that I've talked about quite a bit. But I'm not saying it's true. It's a conspiracy theory. Donald Trump has always been the choice of the deep state.

In the late 2000s, I remember this. Alex Jones was becoming more and more prominent and popular. Libertarians were rising up around Ron Paul. They opposed war. They opposed the IMF, the swift payments, all of these things. Alex Jones had been talking about the Amero, a North American currency, rejected because people were in revolt against it, Real ID, all these things. There's the guy with the Liberty dollar gets raided. And so the conspiracy theory goes, the deep state says, guys, people hate Romney.

Oh, like, you know, Obama was not enough. We've got Occupy still Tea Party and Occupy. We have the makings of a populist uprising. How do we capture this? Well, these guys, assuming that stupid say, OK, look, we tried the Obama route.

He's not an old white man. He's hoping he's changed. He came out of nowhere. He challenged the machine. It didn't stop the Tea Party and it didn't stop Occupy Wall Street. So that doesn't work. What we need to do is have a champion defeat the evil that the populist movement fears. How do we do that? So they say, Donald Trump's a billionaire. He's a friend of ours. Let's get him. We will prop him up as this upstart outsider. He's a billionaire, by the way, who challenges the machine.

We'll try to destroy him, but never really. We'll put him, you know, he'll be in on it with us. And then we'll set him up to be the champion who defeats the evil machine empire.

And what ends up happening, you'll get the likes of Alex Jones cheering on the executive branch. You get the likes of Luke, Luke Rutkowski, and you will get those Ron Paul libertarians voting Republican. They will line up next to the American flag to strengthen this country, strengthen its ties to government and champion its president in his authority to help, you know, control everything. So.

That's the conspiracy theory. I'm not saying it's true. But people believe that Donald Trump, who was friends with the Clintons and friends of these people, they chose him to be this. I'm going to challenge the machine. They play the heel. Trump defeats the bad guy and Dave Smith votes Republican now. Right. It seems like how do you get plausible to me? It's like imagine the CIA saying, how do we get Dave Smith of a Republican? And they're like, here's the plan.

I'm not a fan of conspiracies, though, because a simple solution tends to be the correct one. The people who create the liberal economic order have long since passed. The grandchildren who have inherited this thing to the CIA have no idea what they're doing. The BRICS nations are growing out of control. The deep state has no idea how to maintain the narrative machine. The ratings are collapsing. And Donald Trump rises up in the wake, along with other populist movements, makes substantially more sense. Yeah, there's room for another world order, for sure. Like, the evolution of the world order is happening in front of us with BRICS and with the liberal economic just...

Failing to manipulate. Yeah, BRICS is Brazil, Russia, India, China. I know what BRICS is, but BRICS is not a threat. Not a threat. I wouldn't call it a threat, but it's another type of world order, economic world order. And so it's been growing in the last few years, and the liberal economic order is floundering. There's Bitcoin. There's this digital world, potential world. But if the power goes off, you don't have access to your Bitcoin. I mean, you don't have access to anything.

Without the power. You don't have access to your checking account. Unless you actually have cash. Or gold. Imagine carrying around gold coins everywhere in your pouch. With your little dagger in your pouch. You'd probably actually have copper. Silver dimes are still out there. You can use those. One of those things would be money. So heavy. Silver, copper, and gold? No. Bullets would be gold. Maybe. Bullets would be currency. Well, hold on. Not if the power goes out. You're talking about if this...

Morning people wake up for peace and quiet. McDonald's breakfast people, we wake up for the sweet rush of getting that warm, delicious breakfast right before it ends.

Crush your morning goals with a steak, egg, and cheese bagel or any breakfast sandwich and snag another one for just a buck with the buy one, get one deal. Only in the McDonald's app. Limited time only at participating McDonald's. Valid once per day. Must opt into rewards. They're looking at my collapse.

If the power goes out, you can still have digital currency. It's called offline currency. That'll be part of the CBDC. Right. So the first thing we're talking about is if the power goes out, you have no access to Bitcoin. You have no access to your checking account. But you can still trade with cash and...

precious metals or whatever. If society crumbles, yeah, bullets are everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bullets and water. But I got to be honest, we've made this joke where it's like you go to the grocery store and you're like, I'll take a gallon of milk and I'll take those cans of beans. Do you have change for a 50 BMG? And they'll be like, yeah. And they give you like a handful of nine millimeter or something. Like that's the joke. But bullets are going to be more than currency because like a single 22 is

Long rifle is going to be worth a lot. You're talking about a tiny bullet would be impossible for the average person to make. It'd be very, very difficult if society was totally. I hope Fallout makes bullets the currency instead of caps because bottle caps. That's not bullets. You know, there's so many anyway in the game. It'd be a great currency. The funny thing about fall is that bullets are still around after hundreds. Yeah, you find bullets. Oh, no, no, no. They'd be so rare. You have like a bullets book of Eli. Yeah.

You ever seen Book of Eli? No. So it's post-apocalyptic and he's got a shotgun and the guy's like, what's that? They're never loaded anyway.

Because there's no bullet, but he does have bullets. Shotguns would probably be the most popular weapon. Blunderbusses, things you can just stick in there, get some explosive rocks and stuff. No, no, no, no, no. In short range. If we're talking about a post-society collapse, Ian's right, blunderbuss. Boomsticks. Because they'll just pack it, and they'll jam rocks and garbage in it, and then blast you with whatever's lying on the ground. Yeah, if you can get close enough to the deer. It's going to be, look. Water, too. Making black powder with, like,

bat crap and other things like this, your average person can find a book in an old library and that knowledge will persist. It'll probably become fairly common and there will be small groups that try to make black powder. In that case, it's going to be makeshift blunderbuss. If you're talking about like blunderbuss or makeshift stuff, yeah, that's fine. But there are, to go through the amount of ammo that is currently being

saved up in random dudes basements I mean there's a lot of ammo out there like I mean I have I have a lot of ammo here in West Virginia that's not talking about how much ammo I have in New Hampshire okay like and there's a lot of dudes like me so and

Ammo may be... Ammo will have value and maybe people will use it for currency. That's completely realistic. But you're...

I think that you would see the lights come back on unless there's a massive die-off of people that are competent. That's why I said if the power goes out, gold is fine. Because so long as the standard culture exists, people will feel there's value between these things. We're talking about total social collapse.

then people are going to be making makeshift things with rocks, dirt, and crap. Some. I do think there will be people that are going to do what they can if they don't have anything. But there's a lot of people. How long is the power out? What I'm saying is...

If right now the power went out for several months, people are trading gold. If the power goes off and we're in an economic crisis in World War III and it's a year, people are trading gold, cash, and things of value. What if you don't have gold? You're trading something of value. You're bartering. You're doing labor, silver, whatever it might be, but probably not silver. The average person doesn't have these things. What I'm saying, Phil, about people making blunderbusses, we're not talking about...

power goes out and there's disorder and everyone's walking around, total social collapse is like a catastrophic nuclear bombs wipeout, like Fallout. Goes down and breaks off PVC pipe out of his basement and sticks in some whatever explosive. PVC wouldn't work. But one thing Fallout does get right is the... Enough duct tape it might.

In the newer Fallout games, you get the, what are they called? They're the makeshift, like... Oh, yeah, pipe rifles? Yeah, pipe rifles. Metal pipes. Yeah, they're really crappy, but people just understand the general concept. Nails. Total social collapse. Like, we're talking about Fallout 200 years from now. Everything's going to be wiped out. You're not going to find ammo lying around. There may be caches underground that people have lost and maybe you'll find, but...

powerful, wealthy people at that time, if you can define it as wealthy, will probably be wealthy because they have found access to these things. The average person is probably going to have blunderbusses and they jam garbage in it. With Trump, talking about whether or not he's... I'm kind of with you. I don't think he was subvertedly put into power to empower the deep state. I think it was just kind of like things are a mess and he's the most popular guy. But I am concerned that he...

not too concerned that he could be twisted into doing horrible evil. I don't think so. I think he's kind of shown us that he's not doing that. Some of the things that concern me though, like the photo op with the McDonald's on the airplane. Did you guys see that? Maybe, maybe brought it up and it's RFK. He's got RFK. He's forcing him to hold McDonald's. No, he's not. He's not having a burger.

McDonald's burger? RFK Jr. tweeted about how he can't wait to eat McDonald's when they bring back tallow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's never been like, McDonald's should be banned and no one should ever eat it. Right. These are hoaxes. No, no, I don't think he said that. No one forced RFK Jr. to eat a cheeseburger. I think Trump was like, here, hold this. And he's like... No, I doubt it. They probably said, hey, we got McDonald's on the plane. He was like, okay, great. But can you say make America healthy again and have McDonald's? Yes. Yes.

Absolutely. You're allowed to have a cheeseburger now and then. That's the thing. He's not saying to eat it every day. And I'm sure he doesn't eat it every day. But in all things moderation. Well, not all things. Some things don't ever do.

What? Okay. There's some things don't ever do that. Yes, don't drink poison. Okay, fine. Don't eat uranium. Fine. I would say lactar heroin. Yes, okay, fine. Stay away! Fine, fine. Okay, let's just focus on... We gotta give in that one. Yeah, it's true. Don't shoot yourself in the face. But the point is like...

it's okay if you have uh you know a cheeseburger or if you have mcdonald's once in a while if you have it like once a month you know it's fine if you have have like you know people that like to i don't drink really but even though i don't drink i had a a champagne on election night and i i had a cigar the night after and i haven't smoked cigarettes you know i don't smoke cigarettes anymore and i quit smoking cigarettes in 2019 you can you can do things that are not

particularly great if you're doing them in moderation. I'll say RFK, his face, he didn't look happy. He wasn't taking a bite. It was after coming out and saying, we're going to make everybody healthy. And then the next week later, it's a picture of him with McDonald's. It kind of feels like Trump was flexing on him. He's like, I'm your boss. That was not the Mitt Romney picture. The Mitt Romney picture that you may be thinking of

Do you remember the Mitt Romney? So after the election, Donald Trump had dinner with Mitt Romney. And after Donald Trump said some terrible things about Mitt Romney, and Mitt Romney was looking back at the camera like very sheepish. Here's an article from BuzzFeed. The reactions to this picture of RFK Jr. eating McDonald's on a plane are hilarious. Let me pull up the image first.

And everyone's claiming that this is hypocrisy. He wants to make America healthy, but he's eating McDonald's. He's opening up a burger. It looks like he might have some chicken nuggets or something right there. Look at that. He has a Coca-Cola with high fructose corn syrup. Look, look, people are saying help. A lot of people made the joke where they were like, RFK, no. So I say this, OK, there is absolutely nothing hypocritical about

about RFK Jr. having McDonald's. And I also don't think his face is being like, help,

He's sitting, I'll tell you this. They sat down there on the plane. They said, guys, we got McDonald's. And he went, oh, great. Well, I'll take a Big Mac. And then they put the Big Mac down and they go, hey, everybody look. And then he takes the burger and he looks up, take a picture of his face. And now everyone's claiming they know exactly what he's thinking. He's a hypocrite. The dude probably ate the cheeseburger and said, it was great. I don't even think he ate it. I bet he just posed with it because Trump asked him to. That's my guess. He ate the burger. Well, he said that flying on Air Force, I was just reading this earlier, that flying with Trump is like you're only able to eat poison. There's just...

crap terrible food on the airplane he's made that statement publicly he said that he doesn't yeah i was just reading that earlier today you can pull up the word uh flying with trump toxic poison stuff like that you'll find out uh i wonder where i was reading that and um maybe could have posted that economic times perhaps let me pull this up i don't know what this is uh

After saying Donald Trump eats food that is practically poison, RFK Jr. photographed on President-elect Plain enjoying McDonald's and Coca-Cola. See, I still reject that hypocrisy. Like, you're allowed to say, guys, exercise, eat right. And if I catch you eating a bowl of ice cream, I'm not going to be like... But it, no, no, I don't think so. Locust, bean, gum, hydrogenated, whatever. Yeah, that stuff is like a five-year half-life. It takes forever to get out of your system. Half-life? Just to get...

To get half of that out of your body is like two and a half years. No, that's not what a half-life... First of all, that's not what a half-life is. Half-life's a nuclear term of radioactive decay, but it takes about five years for that stuff to get out of your system. I don't think that's true. That's what I've been told by Kate Shanahan, the doctor, and she's written a book called Dark...

Dark Calories, I interviewed her on YouTube. Kate Shanahan, she's like a leading pioneer on the science of seed oils. No, dude, I think you're confusing. The story was that McDonald's doesn't rot for five or six years. Not that it gets stuck in your system. This is just Kate Shanahan's evidence on vegetable oils in general, that they take about five years to get out of your system. I agree McDonald's is bad. The point is, RFK Jr. having a burger one time is not a big deal. I avoid tons of garbage. Guess what? Guys, I have a confession to make. Ian, I'm sorry.

I had chocolate fondue on Sunday. Oh, what kind of chocolate fondue? Oh, no. We went to Melting Pot. And so we did the cheese fondue. And then you do – so they give you – we had two things full of different cheese. We had a Swiss cheese. And then we had a cheddar cheese with garlic. It was amazing. Then they bring out vegetables and meats. And I was dipping prosciutto in cheddar. It was amazing. And then for dessert –

I had chocolate sauce on strawberries. You can handle a bit of sugar. Right. It's just addictive. That's the thing. If someone saw me eating chocolate dipped strawberries, they'd be like, I thought he was doing keto. And I'm like, dude, I had a handful of strawberries one time. If you allow the addiction to take over and now the next day you're craving it and the next day you're eating it, that's a big problem. Right. RFK having a burger is no big deal. Well, first, he's not actually eating it. So I don't know if he ate it or not. But secondly, I think what's happening, this is my theory, is that Trump wants to

literally make McDonald's healthier. He wants to make McDonald's more popular and then get them profitable so that they can start using beef tallow and healthier ingredients. Beef tallow isn't coming. I don't think the beef tallow is coming back. And the reason I don't think it's coming back is because of Hindus. That's such a small segment of reality though. No, it's not like a billion and a half Indians in India, dude. Yeah, but it doesn't matter because the, the issue right now for the market is,

There is a much bigger vegan market than there is a anti-seed oil market. So McDonald's is thinking, if we use vegetable oils for our fries, we're not going to bother the vegans, the vegetarians, or the Hindus. So we're better off doing that because no one else complains about vegetable oils. You could use olive oil. It's expensive. Coconut oil. Bro, there's no way they're boiling fries in olive oil. I wish you would. But like beef tallow, like lard, that's like the next avocado oil, coconut oil. Cutback Steakhouse.

Yeah, they do beef tallow? Beef tallow. So they could do beef tallow. They could do at least an option. I have another question. What are the ramifications of mixing starch with beef?

I don't know. I don't know. Like, what's an example? Is that what they do? Like, when you digest it together, do you know if that's positive or negative to your health? My personal experience is sugar and meat is a bad combo. So the concept of a burger itself. Like bread, which breaks down into sugar and then mixes. It might be a problem, but that's only anecdotal. It don't even matter what burger you get. I just stay away from the carbs. I do like meat by itself. Lettuce wrap.

That's how you do it. Or vegetable with it. That's how you're technically supposed to have your beef. So, you know, you can argue of whether it's a McDonald's burger or another type of burger, but technically you're not supposed to mix carbs with beef. Is that like a dietician thing or what? It's a biological thing. I don't eat sugar. I just generally stay away from it. Yeah. And I feel substantially better every time. So...

You know, I did keto for a couple years. I felt great. Got a personal trainer and said, just tell me what to eat and I'll eat it. We'll see how it goes. Did not enjoy it. It was ups and downs. It's like...

I come in the morning, I record two segments and I'm about to pass out. And I'm like, got to go eat lunch. So I asked chat GPT, I'm like, make me a diet plan. And it told me to eat like every hour and a half or two hours. So then I'd make like a peanut butter banana thing for a snack. Then I'd be like, okay, let's go record. Then after a couple of segments, I'm like, oh, I'm so tired, man. Oh, I'm drained. Got to go eat more food. And I'm like, this is awful.

Now, I have two eggs, goat cheese, cheddar, avocado. That's it. With a protein shake. No sugar. It's probably like five carbs maybe for breakfast. And I have energy until 5 p.m. What do you do with your protein shake? What's the liquid you use? Coconut milk. Oh, awesome. Yeah, and it's got like six carbs in it. That's where the carbs go. So a little bit of sugar? Well, it's because coconuts have it. I do coconut water. There's sugar in that. There's like seven grams of sugar. Yeah, the coconut milk is much less sugar.

For whatever reason, whatever I get is much less. And then I do half and half. You do need a little sugar in your diet. A little half and half is what makes it. Half and half? Yeah, you need the fat because protein shake without fat is just kind of weird. Isn't that half and half weird additives, though? No, I get the good stuff. No, but I'm RFK Junior Maha all the way, dude, because I was saying this.

I go to the grocery store and Allison's like, I want to get some cottage cheese. And she grabs one, puts it in the cart. I look at it and I'm like, look at the ingredients. It's got like carrageen gum or like whatever that stuff is. I'm like, why is this in the cottage cheese? We put it back. We grab Daisy.

It's like cultured cream, skim milk, salt. And I'm like, done. There you go. Food. I heard you talk about elimination diets last night, I think it was. You were spot on, in my opinion. It's not about what you're adding, what you're putting in. It's really, it's not about the meat, like the carnivore diet, they say. I'm only doing meat. I'm only doing meat. It's so great. It's about all that other stuff that's not in your diet anymore that you've eradicated, the yellow five or whatever the hell. If you're RFK, how do you make America healthy again? What do you do? Oh, man, I'm so excited. How do you do that?

What do you do? What's the first thing you do? Do you eliminate things? Do you add things? Yes. So first of all, all dyes. I think the first thing you can do is you can probably just ban the dyes and be like artificial dyes and coal tar derivatives we don't put in our food. If he doesn't want to go that hard that fast, he can say...

It is a, he can, he can require, I guess through the FDA, he can require a food labeling to be the name of the product, not some marketing brand red 40. No, no, no. Call it what it is. Yellow, yellow five tartrazine. Put that on that and tell your kids you're feeding that to them.

I don't know how this would go because this would be something that the Department of Agriculture has something to do with as well. But I imagine if you could get rid of corn subsidies so that way it was actually more beneficial to put in real cane sugar as opposed to high fructose corn syrup. The reason that everything is made with high fructose corn syrup is because corn subsidies, the government pays farmers to grow corn. I'm not sure why.

I don't know the whole reason, but I know that it makes it cheaper to use corn, high fructose corn syrup than to use regular cane sugar. So if you get rid of those. You don't even need cane sugar. And that's the crazy thing. Yeah, nowadays. You know, we've got cultural problems. I drink here a delicious Spindrift. This is raspberry lime. And the ingredients, carbonated water, raspberry puree, lime juice as one carbonate. Yeah, from the raspberry problem. And everybody loves these. We drink them all the time.

Why drink 45 carbohydrate Coca-Cola with weird acid chemical garbage in it? I just don't understand. It is true that millennials have been leading the charge and not drinking soda. Yeah. So soda companies have been collapsing. And now that they ran these commercials a few months ago where it was like a guy wearing like a Dr. Pepper thing. And he's like, did you know that we offer sugar free options? And then it was like a soda coalition advertisement being like, please drink our disgusting chemical juice.

And I'm just like, nah, I will drink water. Nowadays, there's options. There's like, there's a stevia leaf extract. And there's like, this is, this stuff, this Core Power, this has got only five grams of sugar. Yeah, we get these. And they're delicious. They're delicious. Five grams of sugar. And it's, it's, what? But, but let me read the ingredients. Filtered low grade A milk, alkalized cocoa powder. So far, so good.

natural flavors, okay, whatever, monk fruit juice concentrate, totally fine with that. Monk fruit. Stevia leaf extract, eh, but it's okay. Carrageenan, is that how you pronounce it? It's a thickening agent. Cellulose gel, cellulose gum.

Maltodextrin, acetylcholine potassium, sucralose, lactase enzyme, vitamin A, palminate, vitamin D3. Okay, so let's talk about acetylcholine potassium. Fake sweetener, not interested. Sucralose, that's Splenda. That's a sugar molecule bonded to chlorine. Not interested. So there was a study that came out recently that said colon cancer...

The reason why tons of young, healthy athletes are getting colon cancer is because of emulsifiers, which is the cellulose garbage and the gum that they put in our drinks. The reason they put the gum in it is because people like things to feel thick and creamy because they like cream. So instead of putting fat in your food, they put gum in your food to make it thick and

And I find that disgusting and I don't want to eat it. I do peanut butter powder. Man, that thickens up my coffee. There you go. It's like a milkshake. Shout out to Jack Posobiec for turning me on to peanut butter powder. That's a good idea. Oh, it's so good, dude. Peanut butter powder? Yeah. Just powdered peanut butter in a big canister. PB, I think, is the company that I use. And coconut water makes it sweet. It's a good idea. Oh, it's delicious. I can't stand when, no matter where we end up going, we go to any convenience store, any gas station, whatever, we want to get something to drink, it's all

all garbage. - I guess the ban hammer, if RFK is really gonna make things, it's like you can't have that thing anymore 'cause that's the elimination diet at the global scale.

But it's going to affect the petroleum industry, for instance, like Red 5 Lake or Red 40 Lake and Yellow 5 Lake. They used to be Yellow 5. Now it's Yellow 5 Lake. I think they used to be derived from coal tar. Now they're derived from petroleum. Could be wrong about that. So that would technically affect the bottom line of the petroleum industry, which you know is a challenge. The oil industry is very influential and powerful. Sucralose has over 100 safety studies representing 20.

over 20 years, and it says that it's safe, and it says that the body doesn't... It says what happens to sucralose after consumption, about 85% is absorbed. Do you know what sucralose is? Yeah, I know. Do you know how it was invented? I don't know how it was invented, but... They were trying to create a pesticide. But the point is, it's saying that your body doesn't absorb it, and it's saying that... And drink monk fruit. Well, this has monk fruit juice in it. That's right. So what I can't stand is they're putting this lab-made fake sugar...

in the drink and then telling you it's safe. And I'm just like, I'd rather just not have that. Well, I mean, if you don't... That's fine. I'm not telling you that you should. But the point that I'm saying is like, just because... Like, I don't think that just because something was manufactured doesn't mean that it's automatically bad for you. That's true. So it's like...

I understand that you want to be concerned about what you're taking in. Here's the story about Sucralose. They were trying to make a pesticide when Fondas, the discoverer, a researcher at Queen Elizabeth College. Pull this up on the screen while you're talking. It's just text. It's in the air. He was told to test the chlorinated sugar compound, but he misheard the advisor's instruction as taste it. Oh, my God. So he took the pesticide he had made and tasted it and said, tastes good.

And the original idea was, hey, if we bond chlorine to glucose, the insects will go and eat it and then die. And then they were like, hey, this is kind of sweet. And they started running tests on it. And they were like, the body doesn't absorb it. So let's market it and sell it to people and put it in all our food because it's safe. Look, they also look up Gellengum. They'll tell you that's fine, too.

I don't want lab-made chemicals in my food. I'm just done with this. There's something weird about America. No one's saying that you have to have it. That's why I don't drink that stuff anymore. That's fine. And this is the point of what RFK Jr. is saying. What is it? Butylated hydroxy toluene in our breakfast cereals? Why? We don't need that garbage. It's trying to maximize profits. I'm reading about sucralose. It doesn't get absorbed, but it...

it may cause free radical damage. So as it passes through your system, it takes electrons away from things or gives them to things. You're saying, like I said, you're saying it may, but like I said... Hydroxyl radicals. Like I said, right now, there's 100 studies that say that it's safe. Again, don't get... I just don't think that it's a good idea to get wrapped up in...

It's something that I'm unfamiliar with or it was made in the lab, so we have to reject it out of hand. I am very familiar with sucralose and have been for decades, and that's why I have always avoided it. So the issue I take is that, well, I'll put it like this. I hear this from everyone who travels the world.

When I'm in Europe and I eat food, I lose weight. When I come to America, I eat the same food. I gain crazy amounts of weight. I've heard that from everybody. People are from Mexico, Puerto Rico, France, whatever. They're like, man, I was in I was in Korea for a few months and I just lost tons of weight. And then I came back to America. I'm eating the same things and I'm just gaining weight like crazy. And I'm like, yeah.

How about this? It's actually simple. Instead of trying to figure out how safe sucralose or butylated hydroxytoluene is, we just don't eat lab-made chemicals that don't need to be in food. And look, I get it. Maybe some people can't afford to not eat these things, but I go to the grocery store when I, if I'm broke,

buy tortillas, ingredients, corn, salt, whatever, and vegetables, and I'll eat that if I have to. I get what you're saying, but my point is that people get wrapped up in names or titles and stuff. Everyone loves to say, oh, well, this is all natural. Well, lead's all natural, and I'm not eating lead.

And just because lead is natural doesn't mean it's good for you. It's a marketing term. Yeah, it's like... So the idea that just because it's made or it's all natural or something like... Or it's found in nature or whatever, these kind of ideas...

actually mislead people genetically modified as well because oranges everything's genetically oranges are genetically modified any like lemons crossbreed from lemons if you look at modern bananas compared to like a banana what bananas were like 500 or a thousand years ago there's they're a totally different thing there's selection for the most abundant producing vegetables or whatever that's genetically modified as well here's google search

When digested, sucralose produces a byproduct that can damage DNA, which may lead to cancer or other health problems.

Consuming sucralose may disrupt the gut microbiome, which can increase the risk of developing tissue inflammation. High doses of sucralose can limit T-cell proliferation and differentiation, which may dampen T-cell mediated responses. Sucralose can trigger insulin resistance, which can also lead to follicular dysplasia in mice. Sucralose and one of its hydrolysis products can be mutagenic at high concentrations. Cooking with sucralose at high temperatures can produce...

chloropropanols, which are a potentially toxic class of compounds. RFK, I'm going to help you out. RFK, I'm going to help you out. I'm going to tell you how to make America healthy again. Are you ready? Sit down, RFK. I'm going to teach you right now. Do you remember the Got Milk campaign? Yeah. And that went all across America? Okay, so let's put that aside. We're going to come back to that point. What you got to do is you got to make America sexy again. I'm going to say it one more time. Bring sexy back, huh? You got to bring sexy back.

If you show healthy individuals, I wouldn't eliminate anything from the diet because there could be economic ramifications of all of that. Let's not mess up the economy any more than we already have. Let's let whatever's going to happen in the economy happen gradually because you don't want any abrupt changes. What you want to do is you want to go to Netflix and be like, yo, you put a fat person in this movie, we're locking you up. Yeah.

No more fat people. Well, that's something that we talk about on PCC, on Pop Culture Crisis a lot, is advertisements. People should be aspirational. To put fat people as models and stuff like that, that's not a good thing. You should be putting people in positions, people that you want to look like in positions for models and stuff like that.

We got to go to Super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button? Share the show if you like it. And if you are watching, become a member over at TimCast.com. So go to TimCast.com right now. Click join us. Get involved in the Discord server. There's a lot of people that hang out. We got meetups, pre-shows, after-shows. But you get access to the uncensored members-only show. And it's going to be pretty brutal tonight.

because Nancy Mace's life was threatened. And I think, you know, we want to talk about it, but considering it is so serious, I think this one's going to have to be uncensored so we can get to the nitty gritty of, you'll hear, like, so we can talk about, like, the threats are public and online. It's crazy stuff. She's apparently reported to the sergeant at arms. Hopefully there's some action taken against this person threatening to assassinate a sitting member of Congress, but we'll talk about that in the members show. For now, we'll grab your Super Chats. All right.

Hal Gailey says, first. Indeed, you win. Scooby Dragon says, second. Yes. And Polly Puree with third. Wow, you guys coordinate this? All right. Jacob Paradis says, hey, guys, please consider supporting my niece's business on Public Square. It's called Narbar's Candles. She uses a coconut-based wax instead of paraffin or soy. Remember, Christmas is coming up. That's a good point. Christmas is coming up. We got to get gifts.

James Thompson says, Tim, please tell me you saw Jenks takedown of Alan Lichtman on Piers Morgan. Even Harry Sisson was laughing at him. I know it was so good, dude. If Lichtman owned up to it and was just like, I think I was fed incorrect information and I think I was wrong about this. We'd all be saying like, yeah, man, the fake news is terrible, isn't it? Instead, he keeps doubling down. No, I wasn't wrong. It's everyone else who's wrong. That's cringe.

The deplorable Mrs. Miss Drake says if Matt Walsh joined the view like he offered, I'd watch it every day. Just saying there are ways they can save themselves. The view. But it would be hilarious if Matt was there. Oh, what do we got here? The deplorable Mr. Also says Trump had has had nine hundred ninety nine days to think about Russia and Ukraine. I feel confident in a plan A, B and C. Putin is probably also impatiently waiting for Trump here, here.

Jason Dixon says, Tim, without your leadership, I have no interest in InfoWars or TMG. Never was part of my interest. I make companies profitable. It's my genius. Did you guys see that InfoWars, the bid from Onion was $1.75 million for InfoWars? Oh, that was a real bid? So according to NBC News, there's a company that put in a bid for $3.5 million, and they're contesting it because they claim Onion only offered $1.75, but colluded with the families. That's what their claim is.

When I found out it was that low, I thought the bids were going to be way higher than that. That's mad low. That's mad low. They should be way higher than that. Yeah.

Yeah. You know why they're that low? Because they think they can get away with it. No, because that's what it's going to be worth after they buy it. No, it'll be worth it after Alex Jones is gone. It'll be worth $30,000 after Alex Jones is gone. Exactly. They're estimating the hard assets are like $2.6 million. And so basically, according to the story, the Onion said we'll pay $1.75 million, went to the family and said, give us a waiver.

and then we'll sell off all the hard assets and give you the money. And they said, okay. And apparently the judge is like, whoa, hold on. What do you mean? Like, how are you getting a waiver for cash if there's a higher bid? There's a higher bid. Right. You know, it doesn't make sense. Has a higher bid come out? According to this company, it's FUAC, whatever it stands for. They put in a bid of $3.5 million to buy InfoWars. Okay.

And then The Onion said 1.75, but we'll give you some of the stuff. Yeah, not the highest bid, but the best bid was the quote from the judge. Right. The guy. What's the name of the company? F-U-C-K. What do you say? F-U-A-C. Yeah. Let's go. RWBY says YouTubers Amala Ekpenobi and Candace Owens have had PIs for Diddy show up at their homes asking about possible payouts. Be safe, everyone. I saw those videos. I saw Amala talking about it.

Did you hear this? No. What happened? Private investigators came to her house and they were asking her if she was getting paid to say bad things about Diddy. And then, I don't know, I heard that they were offering to pay a counter for the opposite. Like, they're trying to pay people to say Diddy's okay or whatever.

You think Diddy went to a company and said, get people, get influencers to say good things about McGivern? Maybe somebody did. Yeah. I mean, all he's got to do is tell his people, look, do everything within your power to get me out of here. And then, you know, people started to get creative. You know, maybe it's attorney team connections, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. It might not be direct from Diddy. I don't know if he can get that creative. Yeah. All right. Death from afar says, Tim, what would happen to the legal migrants that are actually in the state legally? And yet the Democrats literally made a bad name to the people reside before the border existed.

What do you mean? Like if someone's here legally, we got no beef. And I'm pro-asylum. I'm pro-immigration. I'm just pro-legal asylum and immigration. Yeah. So like if an immigrant comes to this country and they knock on the door and say, I'd like to come here because, you know, life is better. And they say, have you felt this form? And we'll let you know. I'm like, that's wonderful.

You know, we like that. We do it legally to make sure that everything is running smoothly and we don't disrupt the lives of the American people and the economy can expand. But the Democrats are like, open up the border and decriminalize it. They literally raised their hand saying they would open the border and decriminalize it in 2019. Yeah, they were chanting, you know, the chants like no border, no wall, no USA at all, because they believe that there should be countries. They had when I was in San Jose and I think it was 2015 or 16.

the protesters had a sign saying, make California Mexico again. Yeah. I mean, like, that's a common leftist thing. And they were beating people. And I go to work and I'm like, a bunch of Bernie supporters were beating people. And they were like, how do you know they were Bernie supporters? And I was like, because they were wearing shirts that Bernie Sanders on. What do you think is happening? They're running around beating people. They went to Trump rallies. I filmed a video. Some guy smacked a Trump supporter in the back of the head with a bag of rocks. And he's bleeding. And I was like, holy crap, dude.

These people are nuts. All right, let's grab some more. What have we here? Mike Smith says, I can't tell if Tim is making fun of Micah or not. Either way, it's funny. I don't know what I said about her. What did I say? You're probably making fun of her. Probably. My take on those guys is, does she just does whatever Joe says, basically? That's just their relationship? She's his wife and his co-host and just does whatever he wants? I kind of feel like Joe did whatever Micah said. That'd be funny if it was that way. She goes grocery shopping for him.

Really? Yeah, because he was like, butter's $3. And she's like, it's $7. Oh, that's funny. That was a funny story. We're going to Trump's house. She's like, okay, we support Trump now. Okay. Yep. I don't know. I think he was probably more terrified than that. He was probably like, do you think Trump's going to come and get us? She's like, I don't know. Let's go apologize to him now before it's too late. He's not president yet.

Anyway, Mizumori says, hey, Tim, you should call out the cast brew pods. There are still about 1,200 Mr. Bocas pumpkin spice experience left. Interesting. Mr. Bocas was retired. There now exist only bags for those who had already subscribed and are members of the cast brew coffee club. So you can't directly buy them because...

We were timing because Mr. Bocas died and we're going to create an espresso blend in honor of Mr. Bocas. And then we have a cool idea for Seamus, the cat, not the cartoonist. And we're going to create like a four-part arc.

And I want the bags to be like the, you know, at first Seamus, he's a cat by the way. It's like, he's a knight fighting against a horde of, you know, zombies or whatever. Then the next one is him compiling a group of a ragtag band to take back the lost city from the zombies. The next one is him fortifying the city. And then the very last one is the new King and it's Seamus. You should make the first one, him a prisoner because that's you guys in prison him for a week in the garage. And he's like,

And the next one is he breaks free from prison and becomes a rogue bandit hero. Yeah. Hero. Yeah. Then he rises up to free the townspeople with a ragtag bunch. And then finally he becomes the new king. Yes. Seamus the cat. Oh, and Casper. So can people preorder? I know it's on backlog. The graphene dream is that we should set up a preorder thing. I know it's still a couple months out, but we sold it. We sold that. It's all that too quick. Yeah. People love that stuff, man. Low acidity. Get it in you. People like it.

All right. Jacob Hawley says, where do Dems go from here? Left shift, right shift, break apart, merge into the GOP. Also, welcome back, Ian. Love you, man. And since Phil is here also, they are forcing me to ask you to run for office again. I am not running for anything ever.

I'm running from office. You might just have to be appointed. I will say the N-word on Maine. That's exactly right. You are prohibited from holding office if you do that. All right, let's grab some more Super Chats. Thomas TJG says, do you think the deep state can be declared a crime organization and catch anyone on RICO charges? I hope so. I don't know if it's organized enough personally. I don't know.

individually people no like their communications exist they can't get rid of it they can try let's grab some more super chat Cristiano says Alan Lichtman accused Jank of blaspheming his name on Pierce show today very humble this fella I yes he said you've blasphemed me and Jank was like what are you Jesus Christ what do you mean I blasphemed you that's funny because it's one of the first times in a long time I've seen a video of Jank where I'm cheering him on like it was funny that was good all right what do we got in here

Katrina Miles says, please do not forget that Democrats threw RFK Jr. out of the primary and would not even debate him. Ben tried getting him kicked off ballots. Yep. That's wild. I hope you enjoyed that Big Mac. The last time I had McDonald's, I think, was a year ago. Yeah, it was a couple years. I just ate the patty. I ordered it when I was shooting that. And it was so salty. The patty was so salty. I know, it's nasty. So when I got off keto and I was having carbs, I did not enjoy it.

But so I was like, I haven't had McDonald's in like six, seven years. Just don't eat it. And so, you know, Allison likes getting McDonald's sometimes for the fries. And I was like, let's get a burger. I haven't had one in a long time. And I was like, this is unenjoyable. And it made it. So here's what happened. I ate it and I was still hungry, but there was something in my stomach. So I felt bad. I want to take days to get rid of it. No. I'll be there for like two days. I'll be like, God, I'm still. Half-life is five and a half lifetimes. Oh, man.

Yeah. That's the other thing, too. It's like. I remember back in the day, my favorite snack was Cheez-Its. I remember back in the day, you could take a Cheez-It, put it outside, and the ants would be there in 10 seconds. If you take a Cheez-It and put it outside right now, it'll sit there all day. The ants don't even eat it. Yikes. That scared me, man. I'll tell you what I eat now. We got eggs straight from the chicken's butt.

That's what I, yeah, it's great. Chicken city eggs, man. You know, chickens are going to be a form of money too in the apocalypse. Chickens are gold, man. Livestock always was, man. Yeah. As long as you can keep the chickens fed, you got eggs every day. And so I tell you this, I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in the pod. But the chickens will eat the bugs.

And the chickens will live in the pods. And I will take the ads from the chickens. I think that's the side, man. To make y'all not want to eat the bugs. The bugs are nutritious. Yeah, but...

I got no problem with eating bugs. I have a problem with being forced to eat bugs. Yeah. That's, that's definitely an issue. There's a lot of people like, I won't eat bugs. You know, I'll never do it. And I'm like, Ian and I made a cricket bread. It was gross. Yeah. It didn't really leave in properly. It didn't rise. It was dense, but it's bitter. Yeah. Right. It was okay, but it's like a bitter bread. And you're like, well, I'm not gonna eat if I don't have to. Yeah. But, uh,

Look, I think any real man who wants to go out in the woods and survive, and I'm not saying I'm a survivalist, I'm saying you've got to recognize that if you're going to survive and you've got to do what it takes, you're going to eat bugs. That being said, for the time being, I've got chickens. And I'll do? The chickens will eat the bugs. We have probably 800,000 crickets in this building. It's insane. So we just bring the chicken in, the chicken will eat them all. Lay a egg, I eat the egg. Eggs taste good. But bugs are easy to cultivate.

I know, then you have chickens eat them. And yeah, I guess technically like crustaceans, like lobster are bugs. They're just big, tasty, salty bugs. Yeah. Yeah, they're delicious too. You soak your bugs in salt water, now you got a delicious brine. Yeah, one of the shirts we wanted to make, we never did and we should, is a chicken saying, I will eat the bugs, I will live in the pot, and I will give you eggs. Oh, the heroic chicken. Yeah. The one for the team. That'll probably sell real well. All right, let's grab some more super chats. What have we here?

True Business says Ian is rolling ones tonight. That may be true. I've rolled a lot, though. No, he says 12s. Oh, I loved your tweet the other night. The other day where you said something about rolling a six, but you said, no, I roll a 20. I'm like, I get that reference. I got a Chinese fortune out of a fortune cookie, and it said, if you never throw the dice, you'll never roll a six. And I just crossed it off and put 20. I make my own fortune. I do think it's funny that at one point a couple years ago, Ian says on the show, you know,

What I say is either completely wrong or really right. So it's either like rolling a one or a 20. And then everybody agreed. They're like, that explains Ian very well. It'd be like a perk in Fallout. I have a higher chance of criticals, but critical failure or criticals. Because I'm so intense when I make points. It's either just totally wrong or just...

like an epiphany. Like, Oh wow. I gotta be careful that I don't overdo it. Cause doing the wrong, critically wrong thing in the, in a really high important situation is very bad. So I thought you rolled a 20 tonight, but that's just me. I probably got at least one. I felt like I got three at least. Yeah. At least. Yeah. Ryan Sargent says McDonald's existed long before obesity was a problem. Uh,

Yeah, the current iteration of McDonald's ain't the same thing. It's not the same thing. Back in the day, it was like bread and meat. Now, who knows what it is? You guys are talking about this whole beef tallow thing. And I'm like, well, have you looked into the ingredients in the bread? Oh, dude. Oh, yeah. It's a potassium bromate. That's the thing that's banned in Europe. That's that leavening agent that's like in yoga mats, I think. Yeah, you know, a lot of people say that the problem is not bread. It's the stuff in the bread. Well, we ordered organic import flour from Europe.

And I still got sick from eating it. So I don't eat bread. My people, they spray on it too. I don't know if they spray glyphosate to desiccate the wheat. Maybe. Was it leavened or unleavened bread?

The bread? Yeah. Well, I mean, we just got organic flour and then we made it ourselves. Because you're not supposed to have leaving bread. We didn't put anything in. We got organic imported French flour. It was like ultra high grade, had some number on it. And then we made it ourselves with only like fresh farm ingredients. Allison made a really great like Italian bread. It tastes amazing. And then everything feels inflamed. I feel sick. I get tired, cloudy. I can't do it. No bleach in the flour? No, no.

I want to get into sourdough at some point. You guys ever do that? Sourdough's delicious. Ian used to make a bread every day and everyone loved it. Yeah, but then I got away from bread. He was the bread man. It's very fun to make. It's easy, especially with a bread maker. You can whip it up in about eight minutes and a couple hours later you got this delicious, fluffy, white, healthy, organic loaf that is like water. Passes through you like water. All right.

Interesting. All right, what do we got here? Hmm.

Ted Thorne says monk fruit extract has erythritol in it as a filler from some manufacturers. Has been linked to serious health problems. Look it up. I despise erythritol. I don't eat it. Yeah, I used to. Sugar, alcohol, and it makes you sick. Yeah, makes me a little maybe TMI, but... Dude, all of it is so disgusting. So what we did was we have an ice cream maker.

It's a, you freeze this little like cylinder bowl, little bowl. You put it in the machine, the machine spins, and then there's like plastic that scrapes along the edge. So we've got wine berries.

In the Maryland property. They're not here at Freedomistan. And this is an invasive Chinese raspberry. So you can't transport anything. But they grow all over Maryland and parts of West Virginia. They're delicious. So in the summer, we took a bunch. We threw them into, we took milk and cream. Because you take milk, cream, and sugar to make ice cream. And I was like, I'm not going to put sugar in it. Who cares? I'll put the berries in it. Poured it in. It turned into ice cream. And it was delicious and did not need me to dump sugar in it.

And I'm just like, I wish I could go to the grocery store and they have zero sugar ice cream. Just don't eat it. Sweetened with natural fruit. Just like cherries or something. If they can do that. What'd you put in it?

Wine berry. No, what else? Other ingredients? It's milk, cream, and wine berry. Oh, milk's got sugar in it. Yeah, but it's not. Exactly. So it's like. You got enough sugar right there. You don't need extra sugar. Yeah. Exactly. And the sweetener comes with the berries. Yeah. Exactly. And so it tasted great. And I'm like, I don't need to dump extra sugar in it. It's not a lot of milk, but there's lactose in it.

You know, it's kind of the value of fixing your diet in general. Once you get over the hump of getting sugar out of your diet, almost 80, 80, 90 percent. Other things start to get sweet, like carrots will be sweet. Yeah. And then you a raspberry, a blueberry. You're like, oh, yeah, this is what I need. Magnus Rex, as I saw a doctor speaking on, I think Rogan, that Splenda, that sucralose and such changes your gut biome and actually makes you more likely to store fat. I wonder if this is it.

The reason why people get fat eating American food, not other foods, is the chemicals kill your gut biome.

And so then your body is not absorbing nutrients properly? - It might be the free radical damage. This could be, this is what vegetable oils do. The free radical damage on the mitochondria causes the mitochondria to stop digesting fat for energy and start digesting sugar for energy out of your bloodstream. And so not only are you not digesting your fat properly, you start to crave more sugar because you're losing sugar. And that might be what's happening with sucralose. - I'm gonna make my own protein powder. We've been working on this for a long time. It's really hard to do

because most distributors who make it, it's all Splenda. We've hit up a bunch of companies, and we're like, we want to formulate our own protein powder, and here you go. And we're like, okay, well, we don't want that in it. And they were like, it's Splenda or sugar. And we're like, nothing. What about Naked Whey? Are you looking to them at all? That's great. Yeah, straight up whey. There's no flavor. Right. You just mix it in, you make your own. And what do I need? Some half and half, some coconut milk, and some Naked Whey. And it's fine. It just tastes like you're drinking milk.

But I like Jocko milk. It uses Reb M, which is like a, what is it? It's a fermented sugar. And so I'm accepting of that for now. Monk fruit extract, I think, is in it. And it's the best protein powder I've ever had. It's so good. Oh, shout out to Jocko Willink for making that. It's crazy how good it is. I don't know how good it is for you. I don't know. I haven't looked at all the ingredients. It's better than everything else I've ever bought. Man, it's good.

Yeah. Like four different kinds of it too. I know. It's all good. It's great. It is. I can't even describe. It's like drinking a milkshake. But because it's all the ingredients, I just go naked way for the most part. And I should look into the Jocko stuff because I have bags of it at the house. But no, you were right.
